[i]Dear valued associate, You've been selected to join the crew of research vessel the ETU Phoenix! We here at Stratobask Industries cannot wait to get you on the frontier and assist you in learning everything you can about what has yet to be explored. Attached is a boarding pass to New Rhodes, Calitica, Earth, as well as everything you'll need to get started at the Stratobask Headquarters. Once you arrive at the headquarters, you will be escorted to the Frontier wing. There you will meet the rest of your crewmates, be briefed on your mission, and be sent on your way! We hope to see you soon, Stratobask Industires[/i] You may have been riding on this letter arriving to be your chance to leave, or maybe you applied on a whim. In any case, when you recieve the paper letter, you can't contain your excitement. As quick as you can, you follow the directions given to you, head to New Rhodes on planet Earth, and ship off in a top of the line Extended Travel Unit, the Phoenix. The ETU Phoenix was designed for such a dangerous mission. Made to accomodate all of the known species, the Phoenix is large, but sleek, filled to the brim with all the bells and whistles that researchers and scientists would kill for. Or maybe you're a part of the security detail? Worry not. The Phoenix is equipped with multitudes of non-lethal tools for you to use while keeping the peace and keeping people safe. Maybe you're an adventurer. Maybe you wanted to leave your life or normalcy and go to the edge, wandering about to find a new place in life. The Phoenix is here for you too. While you will be serving the research teams and keeping them safe as they discover the depths of space, you will have time to establish yourself in your newfound life. Stratobask Industries has a place for everyone, and they can't wait to see what you bring back. Rules: 1. Romance is acceptable, but please keep it appropriate. If clothes start flying, you will be asked to stop or move it somewhere else. 2. This PR is exploration based, and people who are knowledgeable in multiple fields are more valuable to the company than those who are not. However, no one character can do everything. You might be the best and brightest, but everyone has their limits and circles. 3. Characters may come from one of 4 planets; Earth, Rhea, Hephaestus and Kepler-17x 4. Kinda goes along with number 2 but no marysue/garystus, seriously. 6. No godmodding, I don’t think I need to explain this one. 8. Any questions can be answered by myself or your fellow players. 9. Most important rule ever! Have fun! All pertinent info is here: [hider=Rhea] Rhea: -First planet largely colonized by humans after the failure of their solar system. -Densely populated by rainforests with most of the planet’s water below the surface, the rest is in the form of rivers and similar water ways. -Cities are made of a hybrid, eco-friendly material and are mostly concealed by the canopy, only a few buildings tower over the trees. -Central planet within the United Earth Coalition, a.k.a. This is where all of the important decisions are made. [/hider] [hider=Hephaestus] Hephaestus: -Mining planet that was colonized after Rhea. -Closer to the sun and has higher temperatures but life still exists in the form of mostly rodents and insects, there is only water below the surface. -There is constant daylight until an annular solar eclipse drenches the planet in darkness for an entire week, causing temperatures to plummet to near subzero temperatures. -The inhabitants are a bit wary of new visitors since it’s rare for new people to arrive. [/hider] [hider=Gliese 224] Gliese 224: Hot, almost Tropical climate Covered in large islands and few Continents Continents lush with Vegetation and sparse desert area’s Mostly reptilian and avian species, mimicking the early stages of Earth Life. Very few species exported offworld as exotic pets and even a military project. Colonization attempted twice, both attempts resulted in a 90 to 97% casualty rate [/hider] [hider=Gliese 224a] Gliese 224a: The first moon of Gliese 224 Similar in appearance to Mars, almost no bacterial life supported on the surface. Worm like creatures and small insect organisms live below the surface, living in underground caverns where water is present. Colonization not started due to hostile temperatures [/hider] [hider=Gliese 224b] Gliese 224b: Last of Gliese 224’s moons Similar to Gliese 224a, no life due to higher temperature making it impossible for survival. Very little, to no water reserves underground. Colonization never attempted [/hider] [hider=Kepler-17x] Kepler-17x Although similar to Earth, Kepler-17x has day and night cycles that last a standard week, varying month to month by a day to three days in Winter months. Polar ice caps fully formed, helping fuel nearby habitable planets that have low water content. Native species mostly herbivorous with few predators, the result of a disease outbreak brought to the planet by the first Humans who colonized the planet Now a fully functioning society, a large walled city the center of the minor Government stationed there, acting as a liaison to other sections of Minor Government [/hider] [hider=Kepler-17y] Kepler-17y Moon to Kepler-17x Lifeless surface, coated in layers of ice with rock and dust hidden beneath those layers Several bases established as Observatories and Communication relays [/hider] [hr] Hello! This is a reboot of an old RP, and I will be restarting it because some people wanted to bring this back.
